State Rep. Tamara Grigsby: UW program a catalyst for green economy

Dear Editor: As Wisconsinâ??s economy continues to show signs of returning vigor, it is important to take stock of the distance we have traveled in a short time. The past two years have been challenging for every state, but Wisconsin has continued moving forward on the path to economic success. Nowhere is this clearer than in the stateâ??s sustainable industries.

Sustainable jobs hold the promise of strengthening our communities, improving our environment, and increasing profits for businesses. However, the question remains how to best prepare a work force to take advantage of these business opportunities. The answer is in programs such as the University of Wisconsinâ??s Sustainable Management Program.
